Rate this book
The Machine, whose tower overlooks the City, manages the life of every human being. Thanks to It, Equilibrium is maintained, and everything is under Its control.


The Machine put Baley, Special Agent from the 1st Circle, in charge of the investigation, and forcibly assigns Paul as her teammate. The latter, a researcher in the Ancient Sciences’ lab, shares his time between his work and philosophical discussions with Edgard, the Kandron. Baley resigns herself to accept this unlikely partner, because in her eyes the Machine is perfect and can not be wrong ...

Paul and Baley are then caught in a gear, which takes them into the depths of the city and the human soul, into an underground religious sect ... and further.

Who or what is responsible? Can the Gateways be a part of the solution? And what about the people living next to the lake, far away from the City?


This book is the first part of a trilogy that has already attracted more than 10,000 readers in a few months.

Interesting book

I am not sure if it was the setting for this book, but I did find it a little confusing. There was sections that l found it difficult to understand. But l am sure that people will enjoy reading.

Actually, I did not finish this book. I could not continue past the first few pages because of the whiplash I received being tossed between present and past tense. Needs better basic writing and editing.

Chaacetime by Zlato. I received a free copy of this book and volunteered to review it. I found it very hard going except when Baley (sometimes Bailey) and Paul work on The Problem. It is quite lengthy and therefore prone to errors even though it has been proof-read. I was glad to finish it but without knowing the outcome of The Problem.
